Big part of our .NET product line is a non-visual library that allows you to create, modify, and convert office documents in RTF, DOC, XLS, PDF formats, to name a few. In the past, we used different names to refer to the library, such as “Document Server”, “Document Automation”, or “Office File Generation”. With our latest site re-design, we made a change toward clear and consistent naming.
The new official name is “Office File API Subscription”. Those who own the product will see the change applied on Purchase History and Download pages. And when the time comes to renew the subscription, you’ll see the new name too.
The Support Center reflects the change with the following new parent node name and sub-filters:
| Old Name | New Name |
| Document Server Subscription | Office File API Subscription |
| Spreadsheet Document Server | Spreadsheet Document API |
| XL Export Library | Excel Export Library |
| Rich Edit Document Server | Word Processing Document API |
| PDF Document Processor | PDF Document API |
| Snap Document Server | Snap Report API |
| Barcode Generation Library | Barcode Generation API |
| Compression and Archive Generation | Zip Compression and Archive API |
| Unit Conversion | Unit Conversion API |
Office File API remains available as part of the Universal Subscription and can be purchased separately for $599.99.
